       • size of the hole that lets the light in
     • Shutter speed

2. Research/Presentations

   • I will use a questionnaire to find out what items at different ages different generations grew up with
   • I will also goggle how this object influenced the person and why it helped that generation
   • I will also goggle what the different generations there are and what the name is

3. Photo Ideas

   • Generations- Era born
   • Generations- Family
   • Family Tree - Different generations and what they grew up with at a certain age
   • Who surrounds me in my life

4. Site Logistics

   • Travel
     • My locations should all be within walking or bus travel distance, this is to give me easy access. They will also need to be of easy access for my models as well.
   • Health and Safety
     • I will complete and fill out a health and safety check form for each of my shoots to make sure they are an acceptable standard.
   • Avaliability
     • I will need to make sure that I have plan and inform each of my models prior to the shoot itself
   • Accessibility
     • I will need to make sure that each of my locations I plan to use are not private property as I would need permission to shoot on here

5. Technical Considerations/Resources Avaliable

   • Technical
     • I will need to buy a medium sized mirror with no border to be able to take the pictures I would like
     • I will need to source the reflective objects I would like to take photos with. Eg. cutlery, metal ball, hand rails,
     • I will need to make sure I have the appropriate lighting for the abstract style I have chosen
